Democratization is an enlightened ideal and the West’s reality, but it is only beneficial if individuals transcend apathy and get involved. Updating Jefferson to better fit our times, it is not about choosing between media and government, but about using democratized media to appropriately influence government...

A reformed calendar would also put all of Harvard’s schools on the same schedule. The opportunities for increased...
